Manning is still the top guy, Rodgers and maybe Brees will go in 1st round or early 2nds.  After that there is a gap to me.  I'd wait awhile.  QBs ranked 4-13 may not be separated by all that much.

The health of Tom Brady's weapons scare me.  The health of Robert Griffin III himself, scares me.  Cam Newton doesn't have any weapons.  Nick Foles will throw more INTs this year, but how many more?  

Manziel and Bridgewater are the only rookies on the Top 32 as we stand right now mid-August.  They should start Week 1 but we have to wait and see.  Little value in normal leagues, but dynasties or those stupid 2-QB leagues they could be drafted.  

I'll have RB - WR - TE - Sleepers - Rookies throughout the month.  

The Sports Hub Fantasy Football Show starts on Sunday, August 24th (8:00-10:00am), and will run every Sunday throughout the regular season.
